That is the problem with fans, whatever you call yourself, though. There are so many fans of teams like the Dodgers, Red Sox, Yankees, and plenty other teams, that have been caught cheating. Some several times.

I think the reality is that the Astros had some cheaters, nobody argues against that. However, the fact that they have been to 6 straight ALCS and 3 additional World Series with another ring since that scandal, says a lot about how good the team was/is. That is the underlying reason for the hate. It is no different with how most baseball fans hate the Yankees and Dodgers as much as they do because they just buy their teams and don't with anything.

If you are referring to Altuve saying don't rip his Jersey off, you lack a lot of information. He literally had it ripped off a few weeks or so prior and his wife publicly said something about how she didn't like that. Hence why he made that gesture. Altuve didn't cheat himself. Obviously he knew about it, the whole team did, but if you've ever played a sport you'd know it's a brotherhood thing.

Mike Fiers is the loser that ratted them out because he got cut from the WS roster. He's more hated by the players for doing that than the cheating part of it.

By the way, it's pretty hypocritical to throw shade at an amazing player and a really good team for cheating when the Red Sox have been caught several more times than the Astros. They they go out and hire one of the masterminds behind the cheating as their manager. LOL

Keep telling yourself that's why he had to race into the clubhouse to change.

You don’t believe the link you yourself posted as supporting evidence? You may be one of the stupidest people I’ve ever encountered on here.

Here's what I am keeping in my Yordan stash.









Wouldn't mind trading the first 3 towards a nice orange or gold refractor.

You don't know this as being fact. It might be what you choose to believe, but what we believe isn't always fact.

They’re some of my favorites. I won’t clutter up the Yordan thread with them, but I have a handful of OG 90s ones that are /500 and a 2020 Bichette Red /5. These are just fun cards.

I didn't realize he was back! Time to get in a groove and rake in the playoffs per usual.

Did he go 0 for 30 in the beginning of this year? I think its clear he was playing with the hand injury in the beginning. So if he did, that would be the reason.

A golfer with a broken hand would not make the cut.

If Yordan is healthy, 0 for 30 has to be an almost statistic impossibility.

Yeah, I’m waiting for the right card to come along. Lots of people with 2020-era pricing on Yordan cards still.

Its fine to be patient with Yordan. Some great deals pop up if your patient.

(Not my purchase, but someone got a steal)

Baby Yordan (Sanchez) went 0 for 29 or something then had a 5 hit game

You think they would let him play injured with his history?

The Astros have proven themselves to be pretty poor with managing injuries, which is kind of weird because they've been great with what would best be described as load management stemming from Dusty. So they are good at keeping healthy players fresh, but don't seem to recognize well when more than that is needed.
